Current Issues is proud to host Ramzy Baroud, Editor-in-Chief of the Palestine Chronicle. Join us live Thursday March 13, 2008 at 8:00 PM Central Time
 
THIS THURSDAY HESHAM TALKS TO RAMZY BAROUD who argues that Palestinians should not succumb to Israeli values and destroy citizens but to:
“maintain its moral edge, the Palestinian revolution should not depart from its all-encompassing, tolerant, and inclusive path, it should not be tainted by the fallacies of the occupier, it should not fall into the trap of fury, racial and religious exclusivity, and revengeful acts against civilians.”

Ramzy Baroud writes with integrity and passion on events that should be universally known but are not represented in western media. “The Second Palestinian Intifada” provides a realistic and honest perspective on the critical events that are affecting Palestine, the Middle East, and, to follow, all of us collectively. It is a people’s story that needs to be made known.
Veteran Palestinian-American journalist and former Al-Jazeera producer, Ramzy Baroud taught Mass Communication at Australia's Curtin University of Technology, and is Editor-in-Chief of the Palestine Chronicle.
